ST. ALBANs, Feb. 13.-The new bridge on
the Central Vermont at Hartford, was COM
pleted last night, and today it was success
fully tested. The trestle work is substan-
TALLY built, and the structure is pronounced
to be as safe as any bridge on the road. The
traffic across White River, which was inter-
rupted week ago by the burning Of Wood
stock bridge, will be resumed early Monday
morning, and all Central Vermont through
passenger trains which ran via Wells River
during the break, will hereafter be run over
the old route. 1t is noteworthy fact that
the Central Vermont carried more passen-
gers to Montreal the past week than during
any carnival week in previous years, many
Montreal passengers subjectlng themselves
to the trouble incident to transfer at the
scene of the wreck.
